ipexpert section 16 issue.

October 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Welcome back!

I’m working on IPExpert section 16.  I’ve been working on it for days.  Im making good progress today but have run into an OSPF deal that has me a little stumped.  First off here is a little clip of the topology:

Now here is the config from the routers:

What I’m having an issue with is that R4 and R6 keep getting the virtual-link error but they shouldn’t be seeing R5 in the first place. Only R2 should have R5 as a neighbor.

*Oct 10 18:18:53.238: %OSPF-4-ERRRCV: Received invalid packet: 
mismatch area ID, from backbone area must be virtual-link but not 
found from 192.1.25.5, S 

What am I missing here?

    I just labbed this up myself so I can be certain before I responded.

    The configuration you displayed is correct and is working. Did you copy and paste this into your lab devices? The only think I can think of is I typed out your config by establishing OSPF adjacencies first and then adding the virtual-links to R2 and R4.

    Virtual-links are quirky at times. You may want to remove them and then re-add them back to see if the error goes away. Otherwise, post up some debugs.

    The configs here are copied right off the gear. What I should have done, and I’ve done in the past, is simply reboot R5. After I did that the issue cleared itself. Ugh.
